Kamala Harris warns of an ‘increasingly unstable and unhinged’ Donald Trump during Bucks County visit

Kamala Harris made her first trip to the Philadelphia area since announcing her running mate in August. She joined Republican supporters in Bucks County where she warned voters about Donald Trump’s threat to democracy. 

Vice President Kamala Harris returned to the Philadelphia area for a Republicans for Harris event on Wednesday that featured former Bucks County Congressman Jim Greenwood and other ex-Republican representatives such as Adam Kinzinger, Barbara Comstock, and Denver Riggleman.

A couple hundred supporters attended the invite-only event located near Washington Crossing Park in Bucks County in what was Harris’ first trip to the region since she announced Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate in August. 

Over the past couple of months, the Harris campaign has focused on reaching out to voters in Republican strongholds or toss-up areas by holding rallies and events in places like Bethlehem, Erie, Wilkes-Barre, and York County. 

Throughout her speech on Wednesday, Harris slammed Donald Trump for refusing to accept the 2020 election results and his recent comments about calling those who oppose him the “enemy within.”

“Donald Trump lost the 2020 election and he refused to accept the will of the people and the results of a free and fair election,” Harris said. “He sent a mob, an armed mob, to the United States Capitol where they violently assaulted police officers, law enforcement officials and threatened the life of his own vice president.”

“He has stated that one of the biggest threats America faces is quote, ‘the enemy from within. The enemy from within.’’ But know where that language harkens back to. Understand, and let us be clear about what he’s saying, he considers any American who doesn’t support him or bend to his will to be an enemy to our country,” Harris continued. 

Harris then issued a warning to journalists, election officials, and public officials stating that Trump would use federal law enforcement officials to go after them for opposing him. 

“We know who he would target first because he attacked them before,” Harris warned. “Journalists whose stories he doesn’t like. Nonpartisan election officials who refuse to cheat by finding extra voters for him. Judges will insist on following the law instead of following him.”

“It is clear. Donald Trump is increasingly unstable and unhinged. He is seeking unchecked power.”

Harris was introduced on Wednesday by Bob and Kristina Lange, a husband and wife duo from Bucks County who previously voted for Trump. 

“We have been Republicans all our lives,” Bob Lange explained. 

“We both voted for Donald Trump. I voted for him twice. It made sense. We’re Republicans, we vote for the Republican candidate.”

According to Bob Lang, It took a mob storming the capitol on Jan. 6, 2021 to ditch Trump. 

“January 6th was the straw that broke the camel’s back for me,” he stated. “The guy encouraged a violent mob to storm the capitol, then sat back and did nothing and attempted to overturn free and fair election.”
